thnksfrthrvw is a creative and independent blog, with an appreciation for the biggest names and those just starting out. Spanning all areas of the creative scene like music, film, fashion and more, they bring original and honest reviews, interviews and interactive/handmade zines that have led to accreditations for some of the UK’s (and beyond) biggest artists and festivals.

I’m so excited to be a part of this amazing festival which really represents the community spirit that Guildford is all about. The line-up is bursting with some of the UK’s best young artists at the moment, and I’m so excited for everyone to hear our pick of FlashFires and Sophie and The Giants!” – Jasleen Dhindsa, founder of thnksfrthrvw

Crafts, crafts and more crafts! An area of the festival dedicated to all things arts and crafts, the aptly titled Crafty Peacock area will play host to a number of workshops from the likes of Lush, Lady Wulbits and Peas and Needles as they guide you and give you the inspiration to take your crafternoons to the next level.

Learn your warp from your weft, have a go at yarnbombing, jewellery making, ceramics and painting and more. Be creative, be a crafty peacock.

Some pretty awesome news for you? All workshops are FREE to attend.

Head to the wellness area of the festival site, known as The House of Hatha, for some Bad Juju Yoga.

Join a class for a dynamic and creative alternative to your usual yoga practice. Run by Jo Smith, a passionate Dru Yoga teacher and lover of all things punk. Dru Yoga is described as ‘stillness in motion’ and uses movement along with breath, positive affirmations and empowering visualisations.

Whilst many people see yoga and punk being at opposite ends of the spectrum, Jo likes to see it as something that bring balance and moderation into one’s life. Go and give it a try!

Check out all the other workshops happening at House of Hatha here - remember, all of these are free to join in!

Always The Sun will have something for everybody over the course of the weekend; amazing music, tasty foods, fun for the family and activities by the truck load for you to explore and engage with. From now until the festival gates open on the 10th September.

A is of course for ALWAYS THE SUN, but advantageously, A is also for… ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE - set up as a mini theatre highlighting some of the leading companies and dramatic societies that operate in the area. Think acting workshops, live performances, spoken word and poetry readings, documentary screenings; and so much more for aspiring thespians alike to draw inspiration from. Catch the likes of Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, Guildford Shakespeare Company and Theresa Hawkins School of Dance.
